The most hurtful words I have ever received—“You just don’t get it”.
But do you see how this is not possible?
That your it, is not my it.
That our realities
Are in fact not the same.
That my purpose is not your purpose—
My eyes don’t see the way your eyes see.
My ears receive different information
And your way
Is not my way
Your path
Is not right, nor wrong
But it’s yours
And not mine.
Our destinations may be the same,
So I sweetly ask
To refrain from using those words
On myself
On yourself
On your lover
On the fellow people
Of this planet that we share
And to remember
That your it, is not my it
My purpose is not your purpose
My eyes don’t see the way your eyes see.
